| This is your OPINION it is decidedly NOT a FACT. Which you try to claim. You are free to hold opinions but I'm also free to reject them. I am not contesting that most people would like to avoid violence .. but don't assume most people will avoid violence AT ALL COST. Some people might care about their family, friends, home and freedom more than they want to avoid violence. Some people think differently than you. I think, Ukrainians do, russians do. I think war is bad but defending yourself against tyranny is not. russians seem to think that war is good and inflicting violence on others is fine. You think that war is bad and facing violence is worse than death. These are demonstrably three differences in thought. Therefore you can't force your mindset as a fact upon Ukrainians. You can't also just reject reality, war is horrible, but it still exists, I wish it didn't but it does. You can't just tell Ukrainians to give up and either be enslaved or flee. If they did then soon the tyrants would be attacking all the countries and you would actually need to face war. I have many friends that have joined the local territorial defense here years before the current war and are training themselves for defending the country as volunteers. This is the spirit of defending your homeland. Also being able to stand up for yourself is a useful skill to be had. I would recommend joining a local Krav Maga group. A very friendly but effective way of getting some self defense skills and confidence. |
